Another, who has trouble in covering large reading assignments, however simple, will not indorse any course in which the facts to be mastered must be gotten through voluminous reading in assorted text books. Still another, who likes to spend the week-ends away from Cambridge, will not take any course which comes between the mystic hours of noon and 1 o'clock, for the very simple reason that the fastest train for New York leaves the South Station at 1 p.m.
